Heads up, 'Ele'ele residents and commuters: Some lane closures are on the horizon next week. According to the Department of Public Works, along with their contractor Insituform Technologies, LLC, there will be partial road blockages from tomorrow to Friday, due to asphalt concrete sewer work. The construction is set to take place each day between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., assuming the weather doesn't throw a wrench in the plans.
The specific areas to be hit with closures include 'Ele'ele Road, which will be reduced to one lane between Kaumuali'i Highway and Uliuli Road and certain backyard easements along Melemele Road, affecting properties at 4649 and 4635. As per a recent announcement, locals should brace for some traffic disruptions and are advised to find alternative routes or allow additional time to get where you need to go.
For drivers navigating the construction zone, authorities advise reducing speeds and staying alert to ensure safety. Temporary delays are expected to be brief but may impact usual travel times.
